Finian's Rainbow at Irish Repertory

"'The casting is perfect, starting with the delectable Melissa Errico as Sharon. Errico, whom we see too seldom, has a melting voice and a winsomeness just right for this innocent lass." -- Howard Kissel, Daily News

"Errico has just the right freshness, sass, rhythm and charm as Sharon, as she shows in her lament for the old country, 'How Are Things In Glocca Morra?' and in the smoochy love tune, 'Old Devil Moon,' sung with the ingratiating Woody." -- Donald Lyons, New York Post

"And as the fiesty Sharon, Finian's daughter, Ms. Errico, who appeared on Broadway with Mr. Gets in 'Amour,' remind you of how valuable she is to the New York musical theater. Give her a song like 'Glocca Morra,' 'Old Devil Moon' or 'Look to the Rainbow,' and her gleaming soprano effortlessly flies it into the stratosphere where such numbers belong. This is the voice of enchantment, and it captures perfectly the musical soul of a production that is all the more bewitching for being so relaxed." -- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
